This international break has felt never ending, but Celtic are almost back in action, following perhaps a timely break for everyone concerned. The last week before the internationals could not have gone any worse for the Hoops.
Martin O'Neill's team were twice beaten by fierce rivals Rangers, first demolished 3-0 at Ibrox in the League Cup quarter-finals, missing out on a trip to Hampden. A week later, Ryan Naderi was the only scorer just after the half hour mark, with the Celts rarely threatening an equaliser thereafter, putting in a frankly feeble display.
In between, Celtic were also swatted aside by Ferencváros at home in the Europa League, all of which has raised serious questions about O'Neill. Next up, they return to Fir Park, scene of two rather contrasting nights last season.
Just after Christmas, Wilfried Nancy's team were beaten 2-0 by Motherwell, with the Frenchman sacked four days later. However, back in May, Kelechi Ịheanachọ's 99th minute spot-kick to snatch victory will go down in Celtic history, without which they would not have won the title.
Once again, Alfred Johansson's side will be no push-overs, so find out how to watch this key fixture.
